Remote - Office Not Required
Basecamp founders Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson explore the "work from home" phenomenon and show precisely how a remote work setup can be accomplished in Remote. The Industrial Revolution's "under one roof" model of conducting work is steadily declining as technology creates virtual workspaces that allow employees to provide their vital contribution without physically clustering together. Today, the new paradigm is "move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace." Remote work increases the talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens the real estate footprint, and improves the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones, to name just a few advantages. As Fried and Hansson explain the challenges and unexpected benefits of this phenomenon, they show why--with a few controversial exceptions such as Yahoo--more businesses will want to promote this model of getting things done.
Mission Control Management
Failure is always an option...For more than 50 years, NASA's Mission Control has been known for two things: perfect decision making in extreme situations and producing generations of steely-eyed missile men and women who continue that tradition. A key to that legacy of brilliant performance is a particular brand of leadership, especially at the working level in Mission Control.Take the ultimate insiders look at the leadership values and culture that created the best team on this planet. Paul Sean Hill was responsible for NASA's Mission Operations support for manned space flight from 2007-2011. In this candid book he shows that the secret to Mission Control's success has never been rocket science and that the real practice of perfect decision making can be applied to any organisation or team. By demonstrating how his Mission Control team nurtured a culture which has delivered impossible wins for decades, Hill provides a guide for all leaders to boost their company's performance at all levels.Whether failure means cost and schedule overruns, quality reduction, loss of market share, bankruptcy - or putting someone's life a risk, how we lead can determine whether even small mistakes are dealt with or are left to snowball out of control and destroy an enterprise. Discover how to take leadership from the Mission Control Room to your boardroom and beyond, and achieve this out-of-this-world leadership environment in your team.

The Art of Losing Control
Since the Enlightenment, western culture has written off ecstatic experience as a form of mental illness. But why should rationality be considered the highest part of human nature when we are capable of so many more states of experience?
Piecing together interviews, analysis of ancient and modern philosophy, and his own eclectic encounters with the sublime, philosopher Jules Evans mounts an investigation into what we can gain from mastering the art of losing control. From Aristotle and Plato to the Bishop of London and Sister Bliss, radical jihadis to Silicon Valley transhumanists, The Art of Losing Control is a funny, life-enhancing journey that will change the way you think about how you feel.

Command and Control
From famed investigative journalist Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, comes Command and Controla ground-breaking account of the management of nuclear weapons. A ground-breaking account of accidents, near-misses, extraordinary heroism, and technological breakthroughs, Command and Control, explores the dilemma that has existed since the dawn of the nuclear age: how do you deploy weapons of mass destruction without being destroyed by them? Schlosser reveals that this question has never been resolved, and while other headlines dominate the news, nuclear weapons still pose a grave risk to mankind. Command and Control interweaves the minute-by-minute story of an accident at a missile silo in rural Arkansas, where a single crew struggled to prevent the explosion of the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States, with a historical narrative that spans more than fifty years. It depicts the urgent effort by American scientists, policymakers, and military officers to ensure that nuclear weapons can't be stolen, sabotaged, used without permission, or detonated inadvertently. Schlosser also looks at the Cold War from a new perspective, offering history from the ground up, telling the stories of bomber pilots, missile commanders, maintenance crews, and other ordinary servicemen who risked their lives to avert a nuclear holocaust. At the heart of the book lies the struggle to prevent the explosion of a ballistic missile carrying the most powerful nuclear warhead ever built by the United States.Drawing on recently declassified documents and interviews with men who designed and routinely handled nuclear weapons, Command and Control takes readers into a terrifying but fascinating world that, until now, has been largely hidden from view. It reveals how even the most brilliant of minds can offer us only the illusion of control. Audacious, gripping, and unforgettable, Command and Control is a tour de force of investigative journalism.

Greens of Daisy - A természet kincsestára
Sokan csupán vadvirágnak vagy zavaró gyomnak látnak egy sárgán virító pitypangot, egy kerítés mellett bokrosodó csalánt. Mások csak a tavasz igazi hírnökeként gyönyörködnek egy illatos orgonában, és nem is gondolnák, hogy a rózsa szirmaiból akár lekvár is készíthető.
Nem így könyvünk szerzője, Bukovicsné Békefi Daisy, aki már gyerekkorában elmélyült a gyógyító és ehető vadnövények varázslatos világában. Legyen az a cukkini virága, vadsóska, árvácska vagy a sokrétű csalánlevél, számtalan gaznak tűnő egyszerű kerti növény rejt magában igazi kincseket, nem utolsósorban ínycsiklandó ízeket. A könyvben nem csak útmutatást és leírást találunk a legfontosabb gyógynövények felhasználását illetően, de több mint 33 ételrecepttel új színt vihetünk mindennapi ételeinkbe!
A szerző a Greens of Daisy márka névadója és alapítója, kertészmérnök, három gyermekes édesanya, Go Green nagykövet, követőinek száma több százezres nagyságrendű.
Egy olasz nyár
Amikor Katy édesanyja meghal, a lány teljesen magába roskad. Carol nemcsak Katy anyukája, hanem a legjobb barátnője is volt. Minden problémára ismerte a megoldást, és most, amikor Katynek a legnagyobb szüksége lenne rá, nincs többé. A régóta tervezett, közös nyaralásra sem utazhatnak már el együtt, Katynek egyedül kell eltöltenie két hetet Positano városában.
Amint megérkezik az Amalfi-partra, a káprázatos tenger, a gyönyörű sziklák, a kedves emberek és persze a finom ételek hatására Katy szinte újjáéled.
És akkor megjelenik Carol: napbarnított, egészséges, hús-vér nőként, harmincévesen. Katy nem érti, mindez hogyan lehetséges, de úgy érzi, hogy visszakapta az anyját. Újra megismeri Carolt, ezúttal nem mint édesanyát, hanem azt a fiatal nőt, aki az ő születése előtt volt, és aki nem egészen olyan, amilyennek Katy hitte. A lánynak el kell fogadnia, hogy a mindentudó anya sem volt mindig tökéletes, de ettől még inkább szerethető.
Az Öt év múlva decemberben szerzője ezúttal is az idő illékony és megfoghatatlan természetével játszik, az olasz tengerparton valósággá válik a varázslat, és a lehetetlen is megtörténhet. Rebecca Serle legújabb könyve az anya és lánya közötti eltéphetetlen kötelékről szól, valamint arról, hogy szeretteink sosem hagynak el minket igazán.
A Primrose Hill-i könyvesbolt
Egy fiatal nő megörökli édesanyja könyvesboltját a londoni Primrose Hillen, és ezzel egy új történet lapjain találja magát, amely régóta őrzött családi titkokat rejt, egy új szerelem lehetőségét, és talán élete legnagyobb kihívását…
Valentina Baker mindössze tizenegy éves volt, amikor édesanyja, Eloise váratlanul elszökött szülőhazájába, Angliába, otthagyva a lányt és az apját Kaliforniában. Most harmincas éveiben járó könyvtárosként, háta mögött egy kudarcba fulladt házassággal Val még mindig képtelen arra, hogy megbékéljen anyja tettével.
Egy nap azonban a sors keserédes fordulata folytán arról értesül, hogy Eloise meghalt, és ráhagyta a Primrose Hill-i lakását meg a mesés könyvesboltját, amit közel két évtizeddel korábban nyitott. Val megragadja az újrakezdés lehetőségét, és átrepül az Atlanti-óceánon, abban a reményben, hogy megtudja, ki is volt az édesanyja valójában.
Ahogy rakosgatja Eloise életének mozaikdarabkáit, beleszeret a pasztellszínű, harmadik emeleti lakásba meg a hangulatos, kincsekkel teli könyvesboltba, és ráébred, hogy a múlt sokkal bonyolultabb titkokat rejt, mint azt valaha is képzelte…
A Primrose Hill-i könyvesbolt a veszteség és a gyógyulás regénye, amely érzékeny igazságokat tár fel a szerelemről, a családról és a megbocsátásról.
